its hard to imagine railgun for 24 episode. I can't think of other arcs about mikoto than the condensed aim and accelerator. Unless they do the novel further than vol 8+. But it will ruin index if they plan season 2...... its confusing.

Well 90% of those 4 episodes we saw up to date was anime exclusive material so I can easily see Railgun going for 24 episodes. And since I loved every second of it so far I'm not worried at all.

I think everyone knows that not everyone likes the way the JC STAFF do their job. But the episode 4 is great so no complaint. Its just some random fanservice and story telling is okay for me but not for all. And the most thing that I'm worried about is if they touch the untold story yet in index and ruined it. That's what worries me more and more. I hope they do fine.

By the way, just to follow up on this a bit, the official website has the first solicitation up, and it basically confirms what was said before about the episode count (8 volumes at 3 episodes each = 24 episodes). In the list of extras, they explain that the release will include an 8-part mini Index light novel, which is just like the 8-part mini Railgun light novel that came with the Index Blu-Ray/DVD collection.

Bingo! Just I thought.

I'm sure that the other arc is the 8-part mini Railgun light novel that came with the Index Blu-Ray/DVD collection.

can you give some summary for it? spoil me with everything you've got
Hope its fun and doesn't ruin the mood of the story.

I wish to know this too, but seeing as no one posted about it... I think I'll do some assumptions...

Spoiler for lalalala:

By looking at some scans from Animepaper... it seems to be the continuation of that manga special thing where we see Kuroko in her skimpy bikini and the four of them seem to be somewhere taking a vacation... I really don't know how the story goes since... we're left with some black panels after a certain scene... maybe that's the one? o_O

Actually, I think that might be the scene from that particular special chapter of the manga where

Spoiler:

Kuroko is wearing that super-skimpy swimsuit

that I talked about back before the Railgun anime started, in my "Wonder if this gets animated" thing:

A little NSFW for the first one.......serious NSFW for the second one (neither are spoilerish):
[links redacted...]

If so, then......looks like I got my answer.

Kuroko in that skimpy swimsuit is from the Railgun mini novel series that came with the Index DVDs. That manga chapter is just a preview for it, and the plot of that is nowhere close to the description of ep. 13.

Well one can hope. And it's not like JC Staff hasn't already done their fair share of story/plot rearranging/originalization/modification with the anime.
